Yeah, those real-time notifications of "{User} has done {Action}" always raise my suspicions that the website is a scam.

Since they are almost always on dubious looking ecommerce sites, or scammy betting or crypto web applications

Once it's backed with a scripting language like Python or Lua it will be a very compelling Flash alternative (even though Flash is long dead now).

Is it still a viable option for designers to use the last non-recurrent-subscription version of Adobe Creative Suite?

Or in 2021 is Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo just the best single-purchase option right now?

Would this technique have been faster?

A single pass: paginating through all entries in the bucket without deletion, just to build up your index of files. And then using that index to delete objects in parallel.

Could you expand on this? What security vulnerabilities does Exim4 have that you'd avoid just by choosing Postfix as an alternative?

Honest question (I have no actual ASIC experience, I'm just curious)

Where are you getting the USD1500 price tag, I've just done a quick search and I only found a bunch of S9 Miners (Bitmain Antminer S9) advertised for over USD6000 on Amazon.

The date for completion on your book is December 25th. Is that DEC25 2017 or was the slated date DEC25 2016 and things have slipped a little?

Do publishers act as a reliable source for validating your idea? or do you rely purely on your audience, if you can validate your audience directly then you'll be able to get a far more accurate prediction of demand for a book than from the opinions of a publisher's agents.

I read this and assumed it was just an early April Fools Gag.

Actually, I'm still not convinced that it isn't linked to April Fools.

My big question is why? you wanted to navigate or display a JSON dataset using filesystem-viewer tools? i.e. "Explore" the JSON dataset?

netlify looks great, and the free tier covers probably 90% of what all SMEs need. I'm curious, where are the sites actually hosted?

Does netlify provide the actual hosting or they allow you to setup deployment to a VPS? Also if netlify does the hosting, how good is their uptime/availability?
